Weekend with Nana and Papa

-




This weekend Finn stayed with his Nana and Papa. On Thursday Mom drove to my house to pick up Finn. Upon her arrival she knocked on my front door for 5 minutes with no answer. Then she saw that the garage door was open so she went in. What she found was Finn and I sound asleep in the car. I was having horrible allergies that day so I took a benadryl and after going out to the post office to get the mail we decided to relax in the car. I think I scared mom to death.

The first stop on mom and Finn's big weekend was to Chic-fil-a. Finn ate fries and some milkshake. He also saw a car similar to mine in the parking lot and assume I was there. I don't know exactly what happened during the rest of the weekend, but I know that Finn had fun. He came home with a "finn sized" broom, some really cute summer clothes, and a Mickey Mouse bag.

Nana also taught him a new song; skinamarinkidinkidink. He sang with Nana before she left for the evening. Now every time I sing it to him he will say "Nana."

He also went swimming at Nana's house, he went to practice the organ with Nana and he rode the lawn mower with Papa. He also had peanut butter saniches (as Finn and Nana pronounce it). See pictures above.

Apparently Finn was very well behaved and took several long naps. It was easy to see that Finn had a great time.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl tights to wear under his costume

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

Spirit Week Day 4 - Board Game day

-

Day 4 of Spirit Week was really difficult.  The kids were to dress as their favorite board game.  Hurdle #1: Finn doesn't play board games.  Hurdle # 2:  How in the world do you dress up like a board game?  This was one difficult.  Since Finn doesn't play board games I had to think back to when I was child and go from there.  I finally came to "Checkers" - so I spent the night before cutting out red and black paper circles.  It actually ended up looking more like "Connect Four" but Finn hasn't ever heard of "Connect Four" we stuck with "Checkers." Gran picked Finn up from school again today and took him to the library.  Before going to the library they stopped at the house to pick up his library books.  Finn only had two (2) of his checkers still stuck to his shirt.  I found out today that Finn got a bloody nose after getting pegged in the face with a ball and that he didn't get a star today because he didn't follow dir
